Hi,
I just got a M787CL+ v3.0(http://www.pcchips.com.tw/M787cl+v30.html) which is as the same as m758lt+ with VIA C3 1GHZ. It works with m758lt+ config without any problem, and it costs only US$15 more than m758lt+. I think it is a very nice alternative to EPIA.

Great Andrew, thanks. Very economical alternative and it has a floppy connector which the EPIA does not have.
Do you know if it is possible to get the datasheet on the Sis630E chipset? If I use this I need to setup the vga. I see there is a Linux driver, but I don't know if I it has enough setup without a PC-BIOS init first.
Also do you know if the LPC interface is brought out to a header or connector?

How much is it exactly (with C3 CUP) ??

You have to sign NDA to get the register spec. What kind of VGA init are you going to do ??

Just need to init to 80 x 25 color text. Load an 8x16 font and write attribute/char data at 0xB8000 in the standard fashion. That's it.
I can get a register dump from the board with the mobo and PC-BIOS, assuming in alpha mode it has legacy CRTC, Sequencer, Attribute, Graphics, etc in the standard locations. But I need to know the extended register settings to enable access to these from power on. And any extended DCLK register locations/settings required.
Any help you can give would be appreciated. I don't have a problem with an NDA unless is prevents publishing the source code.

About US$70 MB+CPU

Do you have the source code of TIARA project ?? They have done the same stuff.

Thanks, I'll look into it.

anybody know about comparative performance of the via 8601 and sis 630E?
